Athletes Unlimited Pro Volleyball standouts Sydney Hilley and Leketor Member-Meneh have proven to be a dynamic duo for the Indy Ignite, keeping their team atop the Pro Volleyball Federation (PVF) standings after three weeks of intense competition. With a 3-1 record, Ignite remains a dominant force in the league, showcasing exceptional teamwork and remarkable skill.

Member-Meneh, an explosive outside hitter, and Hilley, an elite setter, continue to lead the charge both on the court and in the league leaderboards. Member-Meneh currently holds the top spot in kills and points, highlighting how much of an offensive threat she is. Her precision and court vision is unmatched, allowing her to attack each opponent’s weak spots. She’s also ranked fourth in kill percentage, sixth in hitting efficiency, sixth in service aces, and seventh in digs — a testament to her all-around impact. Her development as a well-rounded outside hitter has been pivotal to her teams’ success this season as they rely on her to deliver in any rotation.

Backing her up is setter Sydney Hilley, who has masterfully controlled the offense and kept the team balanced. Currently ranked fourth in assists, Hilley’s ability to read the game and consistently find the hot hand has been vital. She blends precision with strategy, creating opportunities for her teammates to excel without allowing the opposing defense to key in on a single attacker. Hilley’s leadership and decision-making have been key to the Ignite’s early-season dominance.

In their most recent match, Indy Ignite faced a tough road loss against the San Diego Mojo, but the team continued to showcase resilience and grit. Member-Meneh delivered a standout performance, recording 22 kills, 19 digs, a block, and an ace. Hilley added to the effort with 44 assists, distributing the ball efficiently and setting her hitters up for success.

Despite the setback, the Ignite remains at the top of the standings and is gearing up for another road matchup. They will face the Vegas Thrill on Friday, January 31, at 10 p.m. ET, in a game that will test their ability to stay ahead in a highly competitive league.
